No, VV is an expanded version of the Child Thief. Same story but 20k longer.
The Child Thief is a short story (13,000 words). And it is part of the series. I hope that's okay. :)
please change the cover of this book https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...by this one

However, it gets confusing when a thread linked to a specific book or author is also used for other books. Start new ones for other books.

The problem is that your current numbering implies that readers should start with book 0, then read book .5, and then book 1. This is likely to be confusing.
Not sure what to suggest instead, as combining them when one is over twice as long isn't the greatest option either.

Okay Z helped me figure this out so what we should do is that The Child Thief is #0.5, Valkyrie's Vengeance is #1 and the rest is #2 and #3. However, I'm not sure if that's what you wanted?
Hi Nandar,
The Child Thief is number nada. It's just a freebie short story that my series was originally based on. The Loki's Wolves series is based on it but it's not a 0 or a 0.5. I've replaced it with an expanded story but haven't yanked it from publication yet.
The series order is:
Valkyrie's Vengeance #0
Hunger Moon #1
Battle Cry #2
Book Three hasn't released yet

Hi Melissa,How about this? There's nothing that requires EVERY book in a series to have a number. How about I number the books as you requested, starting with 0, then leave The Child Thief numberless? I can also leave a note in the series description that The Child Thief has been expanded substantially to become Valkyrie's Vengeance and that the author recommends reading the new version instead. Will that work for you?
ETA: You might consider adding something in the book description for The Child Thief to let readers know about Valkyrie's Vengeance as well.
Hi,Could you please combine my ebook listing with the paperback listing for Your Steady Soul? There are two ratings and I would want to keep those.
Thank you so much! Have a good day.

Z-Squared,
Yes, that's fine. Sounds perfect.
I'll take another look at the description for TCT.

Valkyrie's Vengeance is an expanded version of The Child Thief and it will be the new Book 0 in the Loki's Wolves series. I'm leaving The Child Thief available for now since it's perma free and well reviewed but I've removed its number in the series order. I'm just calling it a short story set within the series universe now.
Sorry if this explanation is convoluted. Of course, it's entirely up to the librarians on how they'd like to handle the matter.
